how to print without the 'choose an item' from the Drop Down Box

Hi

I've recently made drop down boxes on a document for the first time ever and was wondering if there was a way to print the page so it doesn't print out the 'choose an item' on the drop down fields if the space was left unfilled. so essentially it will print blank so the form can be hand written on if need be

thanks

You are not alone. I don't get what Chris means either.

You can probably adapt one of the methods here to replace the text with a series of underscores to form a line:

For example if you use method 2, you could replace:

'Set temporary placeholder text
oCC.SetPlaceholderText , , " "

with:

'Set temporary placeholder text
oCC.SetPlaceholderText , , "_____________"
